Thank you mum for the delicious kebabs!

Dunkirk field

It was a bright sunny, afternoon when my siblings and my mum decided to go to the Dunkirk field to build up our fitness. We all rushed around the house getting our sports gear organised.  We travelled in my mum's big, silver Toyota Land Cruiser to go the field and I was extremely pumped and ready for our run.

When we arrived at the field, my siblings and I decided to do some warm-ups to stretch out our muscles so that we were not sore afterwards. I stretched my arms, legs and neck for about ten minutes before I ran the field.

I decided to jog the whole rugby field five times without stopping while my brothers sprinted around the field. I jogged slowly at first so that I could sustain my energy for longer, but after the third lap I started sprinting. The grass was so slippery that I had butterflies in my stomach because I had to be careful not to slip and fall.

Finally, when I had finished jogging around the field five times, I went to my mum in the car and she told me to sprint the whole field again. I said, "Yes!" and did what she told me to do. My sister decided to run with me and when we were running, I couldn't catch up with her because she was running as fast as a jaguar. We all ended up finishing our runs at the same time so we went back to the car together.

When we got home, we were all so exhausted. We refuelled our bodies with my mum's delicious kebabs and vegetable samosas. The food was delightful and we had orange juice to quench our thirst.

I had so much fun on the field and my favourite part was running around the field because I was building up my fitness.

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand and use descriptive language.

Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I use similes and metaphors to describe my day at the Dunkirk field.

I love playing touch with my family!

On the 10th of October my dad dropped my brother's, sister and I  to the Panmure Basin by car. We went there to work on our fitness.

When we arrived my sister and I started walking around the basin straight away. My brother walked with us for supervision. While we were walking my brother accidentally dropped the ball into the water. "No!" I called out. Luckily my brother got it safely out off the water.

We continued on with our walking then we saw beautiful views and houses. We stopped at the 1km mark and played passes with the ball. Next we went to play on the park. I had butterflies in my stomach because I thought I was going to fall down on the high obstacles.

We carried on walking and many people passed by and said hello. My brother and sister and I did some courses and ran around the basin. We did the courses like, the monkey bar, pull ups, star jumps, sit ups and more.

When we finished walking we went to Dunkirk field to play with the rugby ball. We played touch. I was on my dad's team with my sister and we were winning because my dad was the best player of the match. I was the referee once because I was exhausted. My brothers were angry because they though I was cheating and making the other team win.

When we finished playing our game we decided we were going to make it a draw because it was.

Next we went to my grandma's house to say hello to her . I was playing with baby nephew and we were watching bubble guppies on sky t.v.Finally it was time to go home. I was very tired.

I had so much fun at the Panmure Basin and at Dunkirk. I hope we can go back there and play touch as a family again.
We are learning to understand and use language features.
I know I can do this when I write past tense and time words to sequence my holiday.
